Can anyone re-upload the all-in-one Powerslave pack? All links to it are down.
I mean the pack with the game, beta, dehacker and cd music.

They're different and show a different mentality of level design imo.
West Bank is more grand and is more about exploration in a well organized maze.

Mirrage Barrage has a more modern and streamlined design, something which was already true with the original DN3D if you compare it to all the more "maze like" Wolf and Doom clones before its times, and which is even more true in Alien World Order.

That difference really shows the difference in level design mentality between both games. Dos Powerslave was about bringing the maze like design of pre-DN3D games to a new level, and to its apogee.
DN3D was something more, while it still has interconnected design, we can't qualify it as "maze like" anymore.

It's a shame Lobotomy didn't use slopes in Powerslave. Either they didn't know they had them, or decided not to use them because the game was already pretty much done when they were included, or decided not to use them because they were still in an unfinished state...

But considering what they did without slopes, and that they barely feel missing, I can't help bu wonder what they'd have done with it.
An actual pyramid I guess.
